Consider having a cerebral angiography done like this guy, and greatly reducing you chewing.

Roughly 200 different health disorders can cause tinnitus as a symptom. That’s according to the American Tinnitus Association (ATA). Some of the causes include: Age-related hearing loss Noise-induced hearing loss Obstruction in the middle ear, like earwax or dirt Head and neck trauma...

Update at nearly 10 months post acoustic trauma. It's still up and down. Currently I'm on what seems to be a spike, though I wonder how much the variability of my tinnitus intrusiveness is real vs. in my head. Whether I am continuing to improve or not at this point, I really can't tell. I...

Tinnitus is a phantom sound that comes from the brain due to many reasons. Hearing loss, ear trauma, medication and the list goes on.

@ManApart - How are you doing? I know that absolutely no one but another tinnitus sufferer knows what you're going through. Everyone from my family to friends just think I'm fine because I can answer questions and have no outward physical trauma. The trauma is in our head somewhere, so the...

This so needs to end. A lot of people are talking about developing T after head injuries and neck injuries, yet the medical profession is so quick to say they are not connected. I don't get it, more research is needed about this.

Hey asian, ive read that you had t the same wat i did (head trauma) and that you've had good results with physio. I was wondering if the results stayed? Physio is helping me too. I'm very curious on how it helps long term

@Amar, the cause of your tinnitus is likely a very mild head trauma and very bad luck. This combination can turn irrelevant accidents into tragedies. I consider myself to be on the same boat. The mild trauma might have caused very high frequency hearing loss. Remember than in most cases...

..."Some patients were able to report a possible etiology of their tinnitus that included acoustic trauma, stress, work noise exposure, head trauma, sudden hearing loss, acoustic neuroma, and whiplash. However, most patients reported an unknown etiology. The description of the tinnitus also...

I had a major head trauma 1979. Cliff diving. I can't handle this anymore. I've recently told friends my secret, but they've all begun to think I'm losing it. Today, and the past week have been horrible. I've toughed it out long enough.

...in the forks and I went over the bars and face planted into the bitumen. For some reason my head always hit's the turf :eek:. Like most head trauma there can be some ringing that eventuates. Because your head has had a trauma that shouldn't be surprising but in most cases the ringing will...

I’m sure it could though I don’t know for certain. Tinnitus is such a garbage thing, I believe it can be caused by almost anything. Low or high minerals in the body. Poor diet. Stress. Head injury. Noise trauma. Chemical exposure, mold exposure. Colds. Sinus infections. Spinal/skull/jaw...

Prednisone can cause headache but it's also used to treat elevated intracranial pressure. Like the others said, it will probably fade over time. What was the trauma exactly? Some are worse than others.

Mine is the same. Try not to do what I did and become obsessed about changing your T by clenching your jaw or pushing on your head. I do this all the time to try and get my T to stop and have become a bit OCD about it

Thank you for getting back to us,....... healing is what I need and others who have had a head/ ear trauma. Your experience is encouraging. I shall do this when i have the funds. I too have tension headaches. Thanks again for the valuable information. Wishing you well

Thank you for sharing your amazing success story. You’ve gone through so much and survived it. My tinnitus has become very severe over the last few months. I have several tones, and it’s incredibly intense. I’m three months in, and I also have hyperacusis. It brings me to tears of joy to know...

Some of my high-pitched hearing is damaged to the point it bothers my ears. Sounds like chicken frying in the pan, running water from the faucet, shower head sounds, etc. My hearing has been damaged by meds, infection, and acoustic trauma.

My guess is that fleeting tinnitus is early trauma. Modern life is very noisy and it's very likely that everybody gets damages. Now that everybody has it they call it normal. I have had tinnitus for a long time and I got at least 3 times more fleeting tinnitus on my 'worst ear' regarding...

@Grete, how did you have your earwax removed? I have tinnitus with hyperacusis from over a week now. It was caused by caloric test (blowing hot air in both ears for a minute). Since then I had my ears a bit deafened for two days but this subsided. However, the noise in the head , the sensitivity...

More likely it will get worse with time, any additional acoustic trauma will make it worse. After 9 years my tinnitus transformed from being able to hear it only in silence to severe blasting sound that's even hurting my brain physically (headache + head burning sensation) Enjoy the time when...

Haha I didn't even think of that when I created it! I just liked the character. But it fits!

Dear Dr. Nangler, I live in a country where hearing therapists - namely those who treat tinnitus and hyperacusis patients - do not exist. So please allow me to ask a question, which keeps nagging me - and thank you at the same time for the enormous help that you offer to all of us who suffer...

...the start of tinnitus I’ve had a weird metallic / bitter taste but not in my tongue, it was on my skin everywhere. Which seems to have disappeared just today. I thought it was from cortisone so I never mentioned it, however online it seems to be tied to ear infections and CNS / head trauma, lol.

@Contrast "It is my own personal hypothesis that noise induced trauma alone can lead to trigeminal neuralgia type symptoms. Any thoughts on this?" For example when the pain first appears in the ear, then continues to spread in other parts of the head because of it?

@skoupidis To answer your questions: My tinnitus was sudden onset, unilateral, pulsitile tinnitus with no acoustic trauma. It sounded like a high-pitched car alarm going off in my head. I also developed severe H in that ear. Best to you!

Why did butthead impale beavis with his 10ft wang

...not have any hearing loss. I can hear a leaf drop in a quite room.. lol My T is most likely due to elevated intracranial pressure after head trauma and or related to head Trauma. I got a Lumbar Puncture to bring pressure down to 13. But it goes up so I'm thinking of getting another later...

...something, what happens in short time. Gradually induced hearing loss (by age, or some kind of slow genetic degeneration), may induce T too, but with less probability. And hissing (age induced T) is more acceptable and habituable than pure low or high pitched tones (acustic or head trauma...

Dear all, I would like to share my whole story, in the hope to get some support, that maybe someone can relate and to warn others in their early days of noise induced tinnitus, if they might read it. I am 32 years old, male, from Germany, I have always loved loud music, was going to concerts...

...tinnitus in both ears for 20+ years. I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease 15 years ago. Hypothesis is the disease was brought on by head trauma, specifically multiple concussions from years of riding bulls. While it is not completely definitive that's what various doctors and specialists...

...fluid travel to the ears. All common with tinnitus, although this sort of stuff could be cause. You wrote this in another post: "It seems that the jarring motion of driving on an uneven surface shook up my tinnitus. It happens if I bang my head accidentally as well or other such head trauma..."

Yea hopefully there will be a cure in the next decade or two. T is very complicated, even if they find a cure, it may not work for all T patients as T is caused by many disfunctions such as ear infection, head or ear trauma, brain fluid, stress, hair cell damage I think? and who knows what else...

Hey everyone. I had tinnitus for a year and then suddenly 3 months ago I developed reactive tinnitus, hyperacusis, brain zaps, exploding head syndrome, eye floaters, visual snow, seeing flashing white lights while waking up, among other symptoms. I thought I was the only one and it turns out...

...bite structure will lead to my teeth inevitably breaking. I'm not sure if I grind my teeth in my sleep. - In terms of cervical issues/head trauma, I can't think of any recent problems with either (other than the back of the head pain I mentioned earlier). But that pain, as far as I can tell...

60 mg is standard dosage for sudden hearing loss. Vitamin A, C, E, Magnesium, + NAC may be helpful. Free radical scavengers, vitamins A, C, and E, plus magnesium reduces noise trauma Vitamins A, C, and E and selenium in the treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss Vitamin E...

Head trauma tinnitus i think is unique compared to noise induced tinnitus. my tinnitus was much worse initially than it is today. still annoying, very annoying to say the least. with the amount of concussions in hockey and football i wonder how many pro athletes get tinnitus?

Congrats man. I wish I had very mild tinnitus. I'm at 5 months and it's still severe at about 8/10. Today it seems much worse for some reason. Mine wasn't even acoustical trauma. Just started one day while watching TV. No hearing loss either. I don't use headphones or go to concerts or clubs. I...

I'm one-sided as well. I think I stood in front of a speaker for too long at nightclub, and that's how I got here. Zero warning signs through years and years of gigs and abuse. I cringe now when I think of the sound the snare drum makes or a crash cymbal. So you've been dealing with this for...

Hi @TomLo5 Have you had an audiogram? You have listed noise and a head trauma as the source of your tinnitus, which is it predominately? Sounds like you have had physical traumas to your Inner ears, clapping your hands hurt you. Sorry... .for being a kill joy. You should tell friends...

Six-Month Update I'm writing this down just to keep track. Six months have passed since the day my life was nearly ruined in 30 seconds. Has there been any improvement? Overall, the non-tinnitus symptoms have improved since the trauma, but the tinnitus itself has gotten worse. Hyperacusis I...

...which have gradually reduced, but still there with the tinnitus. Just reading through the forum, I might up some supplements, especially magnesium, in case it's the healing process needing extra minerals. Anyone know how long it takes the head trauma after a minor concussion to settle down?

I haven't tried this technique because I haven't seen any positive feedback from people who have successfully applied it, apart from the person who sponsored it. As a result, I'm skeptical. That said, two months is nothing—don’t worry. It’s perfectly normal to feel the way you do, and it’s...

It's appears that neck muscle spasms straighten your C spine and all your problems mentioned in MRI is a result from this. Progression of your straighten neck and association to your MRI notes, may indicate that a single event is responsible, but you may had back, shoulder and neck spasms...

...to be treatable by sound therapy, it may go away but no guarantees. It certainly does have to do with hearing damage. Probably genetic hearing loss, unless you had a head trauma. Stress alone will not cause tinnitus and hyperacusis. Did your hyperacusis come back when your tinnitus got worse?

Hi Martin, my T did not come from a head trauma, but a good friend got very bad T after an auto accident, it lasted about 4-5 months for her. Today she is tinnitus free. I think there's a good chance you will fall into this category..

Hi I'm new here was told 4 weeks ago I have Tinnitus,.it started after my recent car accident with a Deer(buck) 10/31/2014. had some whiplash,mild head trauma and now the ringing in my ears 24/7 won't stop.....YIKES.....Im a total mess

...been ruled out, then the only thing that matters is how your tinnitus affects your life. And in that regard whether your tinnitus was caused by head trauma or by noise is totally irrelevant. Well, I'm not sure how "expert" it is, but you are most welcome nonetheless. Dr. Stephen Nagler

@luka that is so odd. How did your trauma occur? Do you also have other health issues related to the head area? For instance, for me, I have had slight inflammatory issues beforehand, and it felt a bit like inflammation and fluid in my head. This has been getting so much better with the right...

Thank you for such kind words. Yes, early trauma and compressed feelings are very much a part of my trauma with tinnitus.

Well it happened they used a towel touched my ear even the inside the edge of the ear I believe that's why it came back

Was there any head trauma? Did the airbag deploy?

I've never experienced actual pain of the sort I'm aware you and others like Brian and David Treworgy of Hyperacusis Research write about. It's so difficult to articulate but mine feels like the ultra high-pitched tinnitus sounds are pressing into my eardrums if that makes sense. It's an...

So, my tinnitus is absolutely and definitely noise induced - acoustic trauma, hearing loss. But, I find that when I scratch my head about an inch behind my ear (more so right ear), it elevates the tinnitus volume for the duration of the scratching. @Greg Sacramento may I get your opinion on...

Well, i would say that trauma is, a force that pushed the jaw, or an opening of the jaws too much, during a visit to the dentist, or while yawning. As for the culprit for a neck that causes tinnitus, i would also say trauma, but, bad position of the neck over a long period of time may also lead...

...the fact that steroids helped resolve these issues entirely speaks of an inflammatory process brought on by something other than the head trauma, and he confirmed my theory that there was no nerve damage. The same goes for avoiding headaches, head pressure, and eye pain by using Cetirizine...

Sounds not unlike the effects of a barotrauma.
